The media is a huge part of the problem in this country, and a huge part of the problem OWS is having getting their message across.

Why not take the message to the stations, with demands made loud and clear on your signs, flyers with facts that real investigative reporters have done, copies of all the stories they have been ignoring etc.

How about a big sign that says Insider Trading is illegal for everyone, including Congress.

We need to stop letting those fascists use our public airwaves to sell more wars and cuts on the people.

If they don't use the public airwaves for the public good, they can have their license revoked.

It's a distraction used by the supporters of greed/corruption. To bait supporters of Occupy & 99% to waste time venting at the crap peddlers.

It would be better to ignore the obvious shit mongers and let their posts just fade away. But when you feel passionate about fighting greed/corruption, it can be hard to ignore a challenge to do battle.

I am guilty of responding to the challenges as well, but I try to make it brief and leave something behind to dilute the ink of the poison pens.

Still it would be best to let them sink into obscurity by not responding to them. Let the shitheads rally around to support their crap. We should do our best to ignore them and support worthy posts.

I think it has more to do with wanting to take a swing at Corruption/Greed supporters then it has to do with rational consideration. If I take a swing at crap spewers I try to make it brief and leave a link to something good for others to find when they take a poke at the crap spewers.

It is up to us who can think clearly in the midst of anger to try to support the good posts and keep them in view of others.

Sometime it takes a little self promotion to keep an important/good post in sight long enough to get noticed. It can also be good to promote someone Else's post while also leaving a link to yours for others to respond to when they see your comment on the other persons post.

It can also be a matter of how a post is introduced. Try a couple of different angels of introduction to catch notice/curiosity/participation.

How about a Giant Sign that explains that Social Security and Medicare are separately funded by FICA taxes....and an illustration that shows welfare is a tiny percentage of government spending, the vast majority goes to the military.

Make the signs so large and informative, even the slow minds at the news can read and understand them. Who knows, maybe they believe their own BS, never bothered to read or educate themselves.

I was thinking more like what if the NYCGA publicly endorsed the working group on the 99% Declaration after privately removing their pages from this very website, then the media would be falling all over themselves to find out WTF a National General Assembly is. Wait till they find out it's the RepubliCrats worst nightmare. HA HA HA let the fun begin!

How about the morning shows in Rockefeller Center and Times Square. They are right there out on the street. Break up the party. Force them back into their offices to look as isolated from the 99 percent as they really are!

because mammon owns the news and exerts control over them. To keep your mind trapped. The internet is ruining that and probably will be "chilled" soon. Be ready if you post to go to a FEMA camp as a anti-government agitator to be locked up as long as they want without trial. If we let them take the rights of free non-violent people, even to lowly criminals (any group) then they will eventually come for ours.
